My only question is how to best handle children having sex with each other. Do you ban it / try to prevent it from happening at all? Do you set limits on how different they can be in age? Is there an even younger age when it's never ok but it's ok if they're both older AND of similar enough age? Is age not even the right way to do it and more importantly is there a better way? Should you have to pass a class where you can prove you know how to apply a condom and obtain consent from others??? I don't have any good answers to any of these questions but I do think they're important to ask and talk about. The more common discussion I wind up in is juvenile substance abuse (should you let kids do drugs as long as they're in your house so you can keep them safe? Are kids who are raised where everybody 14ish and older can have a glass of wine at the dinner table more or less likely to develop alcoholism due to the increased daily presence but decreased taboo?) but this discussion reuses a lot of the same concepts.

See if lemmy had the user base of reddit there would be ten more of this comment but each with a different YouTuber.

It's not forgetting, it's measuring with your heart.

And Karen repeatedly murdered all of the foster children she adopted over that six year timeframe by skinning them and feeding them to the local geese. Her neighbor began noticing about 2 years in that the children would all go missing within weeks of arrival. Over the next 4 years this neighbor filed multiple complaints with the police, CPS, and the foster care agency, but all of them just said the children probably ran away. It turned out this was because Karen's grand-step-aunt twice removed was head of the city hall floral arrangement sub-comittee...

I'm quite partial to my theracane but the main addition I would ask for is more diamonds.

Occupational therapy like physical therapy but for fine motor control (usually the hands) instead of gross motor control (like the legs). It can also refer to the neurocognitive / attentional ability to engage in complex tasks. In this context I mostly mean splints like this but it can also refer to stim jewelry for people with autism, adhd, and similar that benefit from having fidget items or other stimulating material such as a chew on hand to reduce anxiety / agitation and to help with focus. Basically if you would need it to do a desk job, it probably falls under occupational therapy, but it also includes the same skills but applied to leisure and other activities.

Loving the medical equipment swag. Just because its necessary for life doesn't mean it needs to be ugly and if anything that's a reason it shouldn't be! I'm also a fan of bespoke mobility aids, OT jewelry, and well-designed adaptive clothing.

Water aerobics and yoga are usually the best options. I would try to find a yoga instructor skilled in physical therapy / disability modifications to the poses. Water aerobics is typically specifically designed for physical rehab so you're more likely to find most of those classes are geared towards that. If affordability is a problem you may find that your health insurance, even or possibly even especially if it's public health insurance. In the gym though you want anything that's low impact and low intensity like maybe an elliptical on the very lowest resistance setting.

Well the downside to the "you break [the virginity] you buy it" mindset (aside from the literal objectification) is that having to formally marry the child also means the child is formally married to (and stuck with) the pedo. At least the informal version is probably less legally complicated to flee from.

Relying on emergency services only wastes soooooo much money. Waiting until problems are acute and they HAVE to be treated under EMTALA means doing way more expensive treatments and clogs up emergency services. Not to mention that not vaccinating or treating bacterial infections results in a bunch of cooties getting spread around the community. And when they're getting those emergency services they can't pay for them so the cost has to get absorbed into the bills of the patients who can pay either directly or through insurance.

"I don't wanna pay for other people's Healthcare!"

You already are, just in the least efficient and most expensive way possible.

I've been casting a hexagram a day and using ifate's simplified modern translation as image prompts. This one came out particularly interesting, but I've got some others here.

I've gotten really into esoteric spirituality lately, and I've been thinking about telling some stories from tarot readings then turning those into images if you all are interested.

 

Shameless clone of one of my favorite Facebook groups for real science diagrams and infographics that just look fucking silly.

 

Helps if they ~~'re not huge nerds who spend all their time talking about the true definition of randomness and/or already have a number they consider the sexiest~~ have reduced STEM knowledge overall, somewhat irrespective of other intelligences.

 

I made some prototype rules for this game, and the community I made for it is linked. Basically you have an "Editor" (Game Master/Dungeon Master) who guides the writers (players/characters) through creating a world and their characters, then regularly adds a chapter prompt that they have to write a chapter for their character for. It's not a long time commitment, I was thinking to playtest a story for maybe every other day or every two days for the shortest story structure (5 chapters). It's all designed to take place in one forum post, with top-level comments for OOC, world building, character creation, and the chapters. Also, if this does just turn into a freeform r/writewithme clone, my feelings won't be hurt; it will be cool to have helped create a community no matter what it looks like in the end.
